History Channel Kennedy mini series cancelled. 'Not a Fit’

[Albert Doyle]

Time to crush them with an Oliver Stone JFK-type movie of James Douglass's The Unspeakable.

Kennedy TV series to finally air in US amid scathing reviews


An eight-hour series envisaged as an epic portrayal of President John F.
Kennedy, his wife Jackie and their life in Camelot will be shown on an obscure
cable channel this weekend amid scathing reviews. :gossip:

MSNBC did a story on this today. Alex Witt spoke for three or four minutes with a woman from the Boston Herald about why the show was controversial. They pecked around the periphery but never really spoke about what exactly made the show so controversial. The best they could do was say it showed JFK's philandering but that his philandering wasn't anything new. Surnow was allowed to come on and say the work was actually "reverent" of Kennedy.

MSNBC once again fails to deliver honest content. Nowhere was the viewer clued to the fact that the show was disliked because it was yet another smear job of Kennedy based on his sexual misadventures in coordination with the upcoming anniversary and that the program's main purpose was to draw attention away from the building evidence of the CIA assassination of the president.

In effect, as usual, MSNBC presents a piece that assumes to be critical journalism but ends up dodging the main issue and working as a favorable advertisement for a pro-government hit piece.

Albert, you have thrown down an excellent gauntlet:

Time to crush them with an Oliver Stone JFK-type movie of James Douglass's The Unspeakable.

The blend of the 1991 tactical picture with Douglass' transcendent extension of Seven Days in May and Executive Action.

JFK was on a spiritual journey--and had the most outre partner in the marked-for-putsch Nikita Sergeyevich Khruschev.

The World that Might Have Been ought to be shown to the new inhabitants.

And by the way, the series which is subject of this thread is bad beyond belief according to the embarrassing trailers. And they act as if it is so magnificent. They, the proponents of the Big Lie, are satires of themselves.

The Kennedys: If politics were this boring, no one would do it

[A.J. Blocker]

So has the show aired in the states yet? any reviews if so...

I watched about half of it. The most accurate parts as far as I could tell were the Cuban Missile Crisis scenes. These scenes portrayed JFK in a positive light.

The assassination sequence was just laughable. Oswald got up in the morning, got a ride to work with his friend while carrying a rifle wrapped in a brown paper package (He tells his friend that it's "curtain rods"), spent all morning on the sixth floor, ate his lunch there alone, and then took aim and fired. On the positive side, watching that farce was what got me back into my on-again, off-again obsession with the assassination and cover-up; thus my presence here. For the average viewer, however, I suppose they would assume that this was the way it really happened.

The outfit that did the assassination uses the media to manufacture consent and then responds to the 'majority' it has created when referring to "conspiracy theorists".

[Charles Drago]

Make that "certain of the outfits that facilitated the assassination" and we're in agreement.
